Part 2/9:
CNC, or Computer Numeric Control, is a manufacturing process that operates in stark contrast to 3D printing. Rather than adding material layer by layer to create a desired shape, CNC milling removes material from a solid block to shape it into the required form. JLC CNC Factory operates 75 machines, with a primary focus on milling operations.
To commence the production of an aluminum part, engineers generate specific instructions programming known as G-code, which directs the CNC machine on its tasks. These codes not only dictate the cutting paths, spindle speeds, and tool specifications but also ensure precision throughout the manufacturing process.
